Barry County approves pay-related letters of understanding for deputies and corrections officers
Summary
The Board approved letters of understanding adjusting starting pay for deputy sheriffs and corrections officers based on experience; both measures passed with Commissioner Bruce Campbell the lone nay on each vote.
The Barry County Board on Aug. 27 approved two Letters of Understanding (LOUs) adjusting starting pay for a Deputy Sheriff (Police Officers Labor Council Deputy Sheriff Unit) and for a Corrections Officer (Governmental Employees Labor Council, Barry County Corrections Division) to be based on prior experience.
Both measures were moved, discussed and adopted on roll-call votes. For each LOU, the Ayes were Commissioners Mike Callton, Mark Doster, Catherine Getty, David Hatfield, David Jackson, Jon Smelker and Bob Teunessen; Bruce Campbell voted Nay. The minutes record discussion occurred but do not include the specific pay scales or the experience-based step details.
The approvals instruct the county administration and the sheriff’s office to implement the updated starting-pay practice under the terms negotiated with the respective labor councils. The minutes do not list effective dates or precise salary figures; implementation details are to be handled administratively.
